Fish Pakoras
Tender bite sized cubes of fish, coated in a thick spicy batter and then deep fried. Resulting in the crispiest and most delicious morsels of fish imaginable. These go beautifully with any dip of choice, and make for a perfect starter or midday snack. You can as well tuck these in a wrap along with some freshly chopped salad, yum!
Ingredients
- 500 gm fish fillet cut into bite sized pieces
- 2 tbsp gram flour/besan
- 2 tbsp plain/all purpose flour
- 2 tbsp cornstarch/cornflour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp paprika powder
- 1 tsp. chilli powder or chilli flakes
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- 1/2 tsp cumin powder or coriander powder
- 1 tsp garlic paste
- 1 tsp ginger paste
- 2 green chillies finely chopped
- 2-3 tbsp coriander leaves finely chopped
- 1 tsp salt or to taste
- 1/4 tsp black pepper powder
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 4 tbsp water or as needed
- oil for frying
Instructions
- Clean and dry the fish pieces and set aside. In a bowl, mix all the other ingredients except the oil. Â Add the water a tbsp at a time to form a very thick batter. Add the fish pieces in and mix well until each piece is completely coated with the batter. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes or up to overnight.
- Heat oil in pan, then drop in the battered fish without overcrowding the pan. Fry until golden and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Â Remove onto kitchen towels to blot out excess oil. Serve with slices of lemon and a dip of your choice. Enjoy!
